Found the article mentioned yesterday online (i think?)

Emergency talks in bid to protect Northern Ireland’s threatened US air link - Northern Ireland, Local & National - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk

fingers crossed they can sort something out, after all if they are wanting to lower business taxes here to be in competition with Ireland then i dont see how ADP rates can be ignored, especially here in N.Ireland

the last paragraph is interesting, which sums up the whole article.. unless fuel prices drop or something is done with ADP then I would say it could be dropped after summer.. which would be a shame as plenty of people use the route, as growth has been seen despite the economy

Industry insiders have said that Belfast is particularly at risk because it is already making a loss.
